Brazen Bolt¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 86| D

5/1

Latest win at Goodwood in July. Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good, 25/1) 17 days ago. Effective on the AW (4-14 on synthetics), but he's probably on a high enough mark for now.

Form: 321100

Miraculous²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 86

11/4

Latest win at Chester in July. 5/1, respectable second of 9 in handicap at the same course (6.1f, firm) 24 days ago, no match for winner. Needs to pull out a bit more if he's to emerge on top here.

Form: 741302

Spring Is Sprung¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| C| D

Course winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in August. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm, 20/1) 16 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

14/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: M Appleby| OR: 79| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 25/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 36 days ago, slowly away. Others make more appeal.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 80| CD

28/1

Castan^p³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 77| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 4 wins from 13 runs this year, the latest at Thirsk in May. 6/1, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 33 days ago. On a workable mark and won't be far away if on-song.

Form: 132776

(9)

Accrual⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 76| D

12/1

16/1 and hooded for 1st time, below form 10½ lengths eighth of 13 to Spring Is Sprung in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 44 days ago. The handicapper has been quick to show mercy and he needs considering.

Form: 1220-08

(8)

True Promise^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 9/1) 26 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 430045

Forecasts

Miraculous (11/4), Sanat (9/2), Brazen Bolt (5/1), True Promise (11/2), Spring Is Sprung (7/1), Castan (8/1), Accrual (12/1), Ziggy's Missile (14/1), Blinky (28/1)

It could be worth chancing ACCRUAL, who hasn't fired in two starts so far this season but it's likely that those runs were needed and he should be closer to concert pitch now. Castan is 5-18 on the all-weather and, though not at his best at Newcastle last month, he could easily bounce back with a bold show. True Promise also enters calculations.
